This artwork is part of a series called 'Quirky tales' which explores surreal scenarios between animals and other creatures that inhabit the earth. Sometimes it's flora, sometimes bugs, sometimes feathered or fury creatures or the mysterious beings that live under the sea.

Each artwork starts up as an idea in my brain, inspired by a wide variety of stimuli. I'm often triggered by words and sentences from poems, books or everyday conversations. Sometimes the ideas come to me in my sleep or visions when I meditate. And many ideas evolve from visual material that I collect.

"They Danced Entangled In The Rhythms Of The Sea" was initially inspired by an image of a jelly fish which I stumbled across unintentionally. At first I just wanted to see if I could draw the complex tentacles and layers of translucent colours. As I drew each line and listened to a random Spotify playlist, I began to imagine what it would be like to dance with a giant jelly fish. Before I knew it, she appeared next to him, in all her blue splendour dancing away entangled in his tentacles.

The artwork was drawn on an iPad using Procreate and an Apple Pencil. What starts its life as a digital drawing, often evolves into other art forms including: oil paintings, Lino or etched prints and sometimes animations to be sold as an NFT/Crypto art.
